Default C6 Shift **** Adaptor for C5?

Looking to see if anyone has made an adaptor to mount the OEM C6 manual shift **** on the OEM C5 manual shifter (I have a Hurst billet shifter but same install as OEM).

Just use some force and fist fk it on there... it won't snug tight tight, but will be tight enough to work. I cut off the little set screw plastic part on the bottom with my dremel also.

Not much really, some new "Maggie Style" coil pack covers are at the body shop now getting glassed & painted RED along with some RevXtreme billet fuel rails with stainless hardware for some underhood "kick". I'll apply some decals to the coil pack covers till I have a decign for airbrushing on...I think you'll like it

Also have an 02 C5Z at 21st CMC near Dallas getting trach prepped to start my NEW endeavor

This is a GS Creations C6 **** for the C5 I just mounted to an MGW shifter last weekend. It has a plastic insert with a flat on one side of the inside diameter. You basically cut new threads in the flat side by forcefully screwing the **** on (that sounded bad ).

Just FYI -

I ordered this **** on 9/11/2008 and the order still says pending. No emails as to why, no response to the emails I sent them via their site, and no phone number to call on their site that I could find.
